What Edgeworth Economics does

Edgeworth Economics is a privately held economic consulting firm founded in 2009 by Dr. John H. Johnson and headquartered in Washington, DC. The firm delivers expert testimony and rigorous empirical analysis for complex litigation, regulatory, and valuation matters, organized across practice areas including Antitrust & Competition, Class Certification, Consumer Protection, Data Analytics, Intellectual Property, Labor & Employment, Merger Investigations, and Pharmaceutical Economics. Its named clients and case footprint include 90% of the AmLaw 50 and a majority of Fortune 100 companies, with disclosed engagements involving Google, Samsung, Bloomberg, the NFL Players Association, Tyson Foods, Hershey, Mars, and Nestle. The firm operates as a sister firm to Edgeworth Analytics under shared private ownership.

The technical foundation rests on PhD-level economists applying microeconomic principles and econometric/statistical methods to large transactional databases, with self-reported pioneered techniques in antitrust pricing data management and an interactive H-2B wage preview tool that quantifies DOL methodology volatility. Edgeworth is principle-led by reference to the "Pareto Optimality" framework attributed to economist Francis Edgeworth, and markets itself on rigor, clarity, and tailored analytical approaches rather than software platforms.

The business model is B2B professional services: custom, project-based engagements sold directly to law firms, government agencies, and Fortune 500 corporations. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, supported by content marketing (Edgeworth Insights blog, Of Significance podcast, Law360/ABA/Bloomberg Law publications, ABA/IAPP speaking engagements). Pricing is quote-driven and not publicly disclosed; engagements are described as multi-year. Revenue is generated from expert testimony and litigation consulting, regulatory and economic impact analyses, and transfer pricing/valuation services. The firm holds no external institutional capital and operates as Edgeworth Economics, LLC.
